V for Vendetta

Although i did not care much for the story there were parts of this graphic novel that made up for the story line.
After reading the entire novel i am still in AWWW over the character of "V". He is one of those unique characters that you have never read about before nor will you ever find another character like him in any book or graphic novel. The way he speaks and uses quotes almost makes the reader feel their IQ dropping. I didn't know who he was quoting half the time and had to go look it up and then see how it relatedto the situation. Even though he may have done wrong "V" was a very intelligent character. The way he moves that intelligence onto Eve. Throughout the novel you can see her growing not only physically but mentally as well. Most of this was through "V"s training and insight.
Another part of this novel that got me was the graphics. Although i found the color annoying at times it really did add to the novel. There was so much detail in the pictures. Those details added to the graphic scenes and made them more intentse to the reader. There were many parts that had to do with violence and the suffering of characters. These scenes still got the point across really well but without being over dramatic and gross.
Over all i thought the story was ok, and i really loved the characters and there interactions.
